8202.91 - Straight saw blades, for working metal:

HTS Code 8202.91 specifically classifies straight saw blades designed for the working of metal. These blades are characterized by their linear cutting edge and are intended for use with various metal-cutting saws, such as hacksaws or metal-cutting band saws. The material of the blade is typically a base metal, such as steel, which provides the necessary hardness and durability for cutting metal.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 8202.99, which covers all other types of saw blades not specifically enumerated elsewhere, including parts thereof. While 8202.91 is limited to *straight* blades for metal, 8202.99 would encompass blades with curved edges, toothed or toothless blades not specifically for metal, and any other saw blades that do not fit the precise definition of 8202.91.

Within 8202.91, further subdivisions exist to refine classification. The subcategory 8202.91.30.00 specifically addresses hacksaw blades, which are a common type of straight metal-cutting blade used with hand-operated hacksaw frames. The remaining straight metal-cutting saw blades that do not fall under the hacksaw blade designation are classified under 8202.91.60.00, ensuring a comprehensive classification of these specialized tools.
